Highly-rated overnight sitters - Excelsior Estates
“We had never left Hazel with anyone before, not even family or friends, because she was always able to go with us, or either me or my husband was with her. But we needed to travel out of town and wouldn't be able to take her. We didn't have any family or friends available to keep her, so we talked about taking her to a puppy resort but after thinking about it we didn't think it would be the best for her. Our neighbor had told us about Rover and that they take their dog to Cathy and she was really good with their dog.....so we decided to take a chance and we are so glad we did. Cathy was so great with Hazel -she treated her like her own. Cathy knew we were going to miss our baby and she would send us pictures and updates. When we picked Hazel up she was happy to see us but you could see that she had been well taken care of. We are so grateful for Cathy. We definitely will be using her again and telling others that need doggie care about her....thank you again Cathy!”
“Ashley was great with Penelope! She sent photos regularly and kept me updated on her activity throughout the week. I will use her again - Penelope enjoyed her stay and having another dog to play with.”
“Thank you for your great care of Layla. She seemed happy and healthy after her week at your house. We will definitely check in with you again when we need dog sitting.”
“Sarah was wonderful with all three of my dachshunds. She kept in contact with me and sent me pictures! This was the first time I left the two youngest with anyone and the continously worked with them to gain their trust. I would definitely ask her to watch our girls again. Thank you Sarah!”
“This was our third time leaving our dog with Lona and Alan. She's now spent nearly 20 days in their care over the course of the three trips and I know each day she was taken care of wonderfully. I Would recommend them in a heartbeat!”
“Sharon was amazing with my Pom while we went I hit of town for 5 days half way across the country. We arrived back a bit later than expected (about 1 hour) and she had him all ready to go. He was happy to see us but I could tell her had been well taken care of. Thanks Sharon for allowing us to enjoy our time away and not worry about of 4 legged family member”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“Patty is wonderful with our Baybee. It was the first time apart and for us pretty nerve wreaking, but every day I received pictures and updates that warmed my heart to see our little girl so happy.”
“Jacqueline watched our big, very energetic golden Pyrenees 24/7 for 9 days and everything went great! She texted videos and pictures with updates every day and he seemed to have a great time. Will reach out next time we go on vacation!”
“Once again our pups had an amazing time with Laura and Charlie! The daily pictures of them having fun and playing were so fun to receive. Laura even sent them home with a delicious treat for later. I can not recommend her highly enough as an excellent puppy sitter!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Taylor! We were a bit nervous at first since Steven has only ever stayed with one other person before, but Taylor immediately put us at ease. She was so warm, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. We loved getting daily updates and pictures—it was obvious Steven was having a great time. He looked so happy in every photo, and honestly, a little sad when it was time for him to go! We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust, and we’d absolutely book with Taylor again.”
“Our for babies are always excited to see l Naji and love how she spoils them so much! This time one of our dogs needed medication during his day which is always hard to leave them when they're not feeling 100% but as always Naji was able to help us out and is always great about sending updates with pictures and videos.”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“Nelson stayed with Noreen over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. She sent pictures of him in the morning, afternoons, and evening each day of his stay. She was very communicative and I didn't have to wonder how he was doing. Noreen was very accommodating to Nelson's diet. He stayed with two of his toys, his special food bowl, treats, and leashes. Noreen had a bed for him to sleep on and water bowls. Pictures showed Nelson enjoying being out in their backyard, going for walks, and playing with the other dogs. It appears he had a great time and I am very grateful that he got to stay with such a nice family over the holiday weekend. I had booked his stay on short notice because it had slipped my mind in preparation for my upcoming trip. All of the local kennels for boarding were booked. Noreen made it very easy for me to book his stay. It was very much appreciated. I highly recommend using her services and would definitely book again.”
“Lindsay and her family were amazing with our dog Sophia. Sophia has never spent a lot of time around children, but Lindsay let us do a test “meet and greet” a couple weeks before her stay to make sure Sophia was comfortable. We got lots of photos during her stay and she always looked happy and cared for! Lindsay’s children are respectful of new dogs and love to spend time with them. We will absolutely have Lindsay watch Sophia again!”

“Moriah and family was great with my Beagle mix older dog. It was the first time at their home for daycare and he is not a very trusting dog with new situations. I was excited to see a picture of him settled in. They were also very flexible as my event ran longer than I thought. Thank you Moriah and family!”
“Erin was fantastic with my dog! He loves being outside and Erin has a ton of property for Ollie (my dog) to explore and a pond that he loves to swim in. She’s always watching the dogs so I know he’s safe and in good hands. If you have a dog that likes to be outside or just wants to be loved on then I highly recommend Erin. My dog is very particular about who he trusts and has some separation anxiety but he is so comfortable with her. Erin treats my dog as if he were her own and I couldn’t ask for a better sitter for him.”

“Our family was so fortunate to have had Sierra care for our fur babies! She is punctual, detailed, and exceedingly dependable. It is obvious, through her detailed notes and excellent photos, that Sierra is loving and caring to all of our pets (the photos showed the joy on their faces!). Equally important, Sierra always maintained the highest level of professionalism when walking our dogs, making snap decisions related to weather and other pets along the walking path that were crucial to the safety and well being of our pets. This superior level of care is difficult to find. Thank you, Sierra, for allowing us to travel with peace of mind in knowing that our fur babies were safe and loved.”

She is an excellent, thoughtful, and highly efficient individual who makes every effort to complete the tasks at hand and successfully communicate things to keep your mind at ease during travel.

About: ABOUT US We are avid animal lovers and have taken care our friends and family's pets for our entire life. Pets are part of your family and you want them cared for as lovingly as you would care for them yourself. We live in Liberty, MO with 3 acres of land, providing lots of room to play as you can see in the pictures. We have two dogs who are great with other dogs, including a Labrador and a little cattle dog mix. Growing up I worked for my father at Captain Creek Ranch, grooming, training, and boarding dogs. This experience coupled with my undeniable love for canines gives you confidence your pups will have a great and safe time at our house. ABOUT OUR SERVICES Our dog sitting services are simple--we treat dogs just as they are our own. This means they are allowed on all the furniture and we do not kennel them (unless you specifically ask for us to). We have no children and live in a smoke free home. We do our best to only watch one family's dogs at a time, but occasionally drop off and pick up times will overlap. However, 99% of the time it will be our two dogs and your dog(s). We feed and take care of the dogs just as you instruct, and separate them from our dogs when feeding time rolls around. When we are gone from the house, we will put your dog in our kitchen/laundry room area where they can roam about and play with toys, sleep in our provided dog bed, and have access to food and water. This area is separated from where our dogs stay when we are gone. In the evening, they will sleep in that same area as well. They will get potty breaks often and will get to go on walks. Lastly, we will update you often with messages and photos! If you at anytime want to check in and see how your pup is doing, send us a message! We want you to enjoy your time away and not stress about your dogs wellbeing. WHAT WE ASK OF OUR CLIENTS 1. If your dog has any habits, please make us aware so we can properly prepare our home for them. 2. We prefer to agree on a drop off and pick up time, and stick to those as much as possible. We will do this closer to your stay, but we do not allow people to come and go as they please. We want to make sure we are home and have your pups belongs gathered so we can have a smooth transition. 3. Please note that we are very flexible with drop off and pick up times, but we ask that if you are dropping off early in the morning you are prompt or notify us if you are running late.
About: 🐾Please note that meet and greets are required for all my services!

All my family and family friends have trusted me with their fur babies. I go to their homes or I take their dogs home with me depending on how they get along with my dogs. I have fed, played, and bathed dogs. I also love of them as if they are my own dogs. Not only do I care for dogs but I can care for all other four legged animals as well! Depending on the day if I work your pet will get 1 walk and plenty of outside time! If I am not working your dog will get 2 walks, hours of outside time and get as much enrichment to help their mental stemalation and energy! Starting in May on Saturdays I typically work at a race track until late, but I will go to your home prior to me going to the track. I have a fenced in yard and live in a nice Kearney neighborhood! We have several nature trails to walk on and a dog park in town! I do have two dogs but both are very friendly with other dogs and up to date on all vaccinations!

About: Hello! I have been a dog walker/sitter for 8 years and have taken care of several clients and their dogs, including relatives and neighbors. I am 18 years old, with a dog of my own and a huge passion for dogs, who is currently studying to be a veterinarian. Additionally, I take pride and excellence in letting dogs outside, cleaning up their messes, having high patience and tolerance, ability to withstand dog barking/scratching/biting etc, bathing, feeding, watering, and dog walking. I also give special attention to any additional needs a dog may have At this time, I am not working any part time or full time jobs. I am willing to support you and your pet family at any time and during any day. Based on your preferences, I can walk and sit your dogs at any frequency. Just let me know what works best for them and I will be willing to accommodate you When it comes to my neighbor’s, relative’s, and my own dog, I take care of them by putting food and water in their bowls once they run empty, taking them outside when they line up at the door or every 0-2 hours, giving them lots of pets, separating any dog that gets in a fight with their sibling using calm/safe measures, plenty of walks and a kind demeanor. Any dog that is in my care will be in good hands
About: I’ve taken care of others pets or my own most of my life. I have had my current dog for seven years. He just turned 12 so I also have experience with geriatric animals as well I am a single father so my availability can fluctuate depending on if you are okay having a a 3 year old come and help (fully supervised) . Want to be able to best meet everyone’s unique needs! I will follow any and all instructions left for me. I’ll make sure your pet feels like you never left the house and that every need is met.
About: I have been an animal lover all my life. I currently have 4 pups of my own, but I also have many years of providing care for several friends, family, & neighbor’s pets. I have 5 years of experience working in Veterinary clinics, in which I performed medical services, boarding and doggy daycare services, and grooming services. I am experienced w/ all different breeds, puppies & seniors, extra small & extra large, & everything in between. I also have experience administering oral and injectable medications to pets with special needs/medical concerns. I am currently working part-time w/ no fixed schedule, so I have lots of free time available. I am available weekdays & weekends from 10am-10pm. I prioritize safety at all times when caring for pets. I treat every pet as I would my own. I am comfortable walking up to two pets at a time.
About: I’ve always taken care of animals, but for the past five years I’ve been doing it on my own.I would watch friends and family’s pets whenever they needed it. Cats or dogs, it doesn’t really matter. I work Monday - Friday 8 to 5. I am able to take some breaks through out the day to help out when I need to. If there’s an emergency I’m sure I can work something out. I love taking dogs on walks and playing with them. I have dealt with small dogs to big dogs, so I’m comfortable with both. I’ve also have done basic training with them.

“We had never left Hazel with anyone before, not even family or friends, because she was always able to go with us, or either me or my husband was with her. But we needed to travel out of town and wouldn't be able to take her. We didn't have any family or friends available to keep her, so we talked about taking her to a puppy resort but after thinking about it we didn't think it would be the best for her. Our neighbor had told us about Rover and that they take their dog to Cathy and she was really good with their dog.....so we decided to take a chance and we are so glad we did. Cathy was so great with Hazel -she treated her like her own. Cathy knew we were going to miss our baby and she would send us pictures and updates. When we picked Hazel up she was happy to see us but you could see that she had been well taken care of. We are so grateful for Cathy. We definitely will be using her again and telling others that need doggie care about her....thank you again Cathy!”
“Ashley was great with Penelope! She sent photos regularly and kept me updated on her activity throughout the week. I will use her again - Penelope enjoyed her stay and having another dog to play with.”
“Thank you for your great care of Layla. She seemed happy and healthy after her week at your house. We will definitely check in with you again when we need dog sitting.”
“Sarah was wonderful with all three of my dachshunds. She kept in contact with me and sent me pictures! This was the first time I left the two youngest with anyone and the continously worked with them to gain their trust. I would definitely ask her to watch our girls again. Thank you Sarah!”
“This was our third time leaving our dog with Lona and Alan. She's now spent nearly 20 days in their care over the course of the three trips and I know each day she was taken care of wonderfully. I Would recommend them in a heartbeat!”
“Bandit was so happy and calm when I picked him up. It was very clear he was comfortable and well taken care of! She took him on several walks and sent many pictures. He was a HAPPY BOY!!”
“Jacqueline watched our big, very energetic golden Pyrenees 24/7 for 9 days and everything went great! She texted videos and pictures with updates every day and he seemed to have a great time. Will reach out next time we go on vacation!”
“Once again our pups had an amazing time with Laura and Charlie! The daily pictures of them having fun and playing were so fun to receive. Laura even sent them home with a delicious treat for later. I can not recommend her highly enough as an excellent puppy sitter!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Taylor! We were a bit nervous at first since Steven has only ever stayed with one other person before, but Taylor immediately put us at ease. She was so warm, communicative, and clearly great with dogs. We loved getting daily updates and pictures—it was obvious Steven was having a great time. He looked so happy in every photo, and honestly, a little sad when it was time for him to go! We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust, and we’d absolutely book with Taylor again.”
“Our for babies are always excited to see l Naji and love how she spoils them so much! This time one of our dogs needed medication during his day which is always hard to leave them when they're not feeling 100% but as always Naji was able to help us out and is always great about sending updates with pictures and videos.”
“This was our fist time boarding our dogs. They did great and loved Joseph. He made them feel comfortable right away. They came back happy and tired. Would definitely recommend Joseph.”
“Nelson stayed with Noreen over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. She sent pictures of him in the morning, afternoons, and evening each day of his stay. She was very communicative and I didn't have to wonder how he was doing. Noreen was very accommodating to Nelson's diet. He stayed with two of his toys, his special food bowl, treats, and leashes. Noreen had a bed for him to sleep on and water bowls. Pictures showed Nelson enjoying being out in their backyard, going for walks, and playing with the other dogs. It appears he had a great time and I am very grateful that he got to stay with such a nice family over the holiday weekend. I had booked his stay on short notice because it had slipped my mind in preparation for my upcoming trip. All of the local kennels for boarding were booked. Noreen made it very easy for me to book his stay. It was very much appreciated. I highly recommend using her services and would definitely book again.”
“Lindsay and her family were amazing with our dog Sophia. Sophia has never spent a lot of time around children, but Lindsay let us do a test “meet and greet” a couple weeks before her stay to make sure Sophia was comfortable. We got lots of photos during her stay and she always looked happy and cared for! Lindsay’s children are respectful of new dogs and love to spend time with them. We will absolutely have Lindsay watch Sophia again!”
“We had a definite need for a reliable sitter who could take our 3 cats into her home, medicate two of them including with injections for insulin and other meds for an extended period of time (nearly two weeks), and Chigorzirim provided that to us. Because of the sensitivity of our cats, we also appreciated that she only accepts one client at a time as she describes. She followed through the schedule that I prepared for when to medicate 2 of our 3 cats as needed, and we appreciated her time on keeping us informed and sent along pictures. We are planning some future travel later this year and would look to her to help us with our cats.”
“Laurie was great. Flexible and kind. Drop off and pick up went smooth and the communication during the sit, was great. I would use Laurie’s services every time to watch Bella. In the future. Thank you Laurie. Thank’s for taking care of my Girl!!!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10 years old, including family pet care, professional pet care and personal pet care. I am experienced in dog walking, dog boarding, in home pet sitting and diabetic pets/sick pets. I have reliable transportation and am available at all times to give your pet the care they need! I am committed to being available at all times including weekends and evenings. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, so it doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I intentionally build into my schedule to make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I care for pets as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their individual routines, personalities, and needs, whether they’re in my home or a client’s home. This includes making sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, and receive lots of affection and attention. I love animals, so I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, playing, going for walks, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and I follow any specific instructions the owner provides to ensure their pet feels happy and well cared for while they’re away. As a diabetic dog owner myself I am committed to giving your pet the best care I can!
“We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our first time leaving our pup. The care and attention given to our dog was absolutely amazing. It was so clear how much they genuinely loved him and treated him like their own. They even had a welcome sign with a menu and activities. It was adorable. We received thoughtful updates, pictures, and constant reassurance that he was happy and well cared for. Picking up a relaxed, content boy says everything. We are beyond grateful and would trust Kris & Eric again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💕”
